Fear of Snake

This post brought to you by The Orkin Ecologist. All opinions are 100% mine.

Aside from worms, I am  totally scared of snakes.  I will tell you why.  When I was  growing up, we live in a farm.  My father used to  take care of a huge rice field and we were  a big part of from tilling the land to  planting rice and   during the harvest.  One day, I was  walking on the  side of the rice field when I saw the rice plants moving, I got curious and   and looked at it and OMG, it was a huge snake.  I ran and screamed to the top of my lungs and my father came  and he killed the said snake with a machete.  So yeah, aside from worms,  snake is my  biggest fear  as well.  

I don't know why, those critters that I am scared of, my kids aren't.  I am  gad that they are not like me.  As you can see in the photos below, they were folding the snake's skin that we found in the woods when we did our little nature trek  at a nearby  wooded area in our place.    Even just the skin scares me as I know that the owner of that skin is lurking around.

It's been two days now that my son keep looking at the scariest and deadliest bugs in the world at Orkin's website.  Ever since I showed it to him, he is so interested in  learning some of the bugs that he  is very interested with.    I must admit, The Orkin Ecologist has them all.  Now, I am not scared of spiders but the Goliath  Bird Eating spider  is kind of scary lol. Imagine a spider eating a bird, the thought is gruesome.  

If you would like to see some of the most venomous   critters in the world, visit Orkin Ecologist website.  You can also check them  out in Facebook and Pinterest.  Okay, be honest, are scared of  snake like me?  Speak out, I dare you hahaha.

Warrior Poet Clothier Fall Collection

I have worked with Warrior  Poet  Clothier before  showcasing their summer collection.


My son love the shirts  he got from them as it was soft and the great thing is that there is no tag at the back  which makes my son very happy.  Aside from that, their design is just perfect for boys like my son's age.

I am so  delighted to be given a chance to  to review  two of their Fall collection this time.    I have ordered one size bigger this time because every time I order him something, it is always just right and  he grow up  very  fast.  

I chose this "We Salute You" in  Dark Knight color and  in size small.  Looking at it, I think that is still a big big for my son so I decided not to show this to him yet.  This would be a perfect  gift to put under the Christmas Tree.

He love to sing so he would definitely like this design as it has a guitar at the back.

I also got this  Paisley Tie T-Shirt because he does not like tie before, he said that it looks goofy.  But then  he started using their new set of school uniform with tie and now he likes it.  So this would be a perfect new design of shirt for him to use.

I wrapped them up today and put it underneath the tree.  He immediately noticed it when  he came home from school.

Check out their Fall Catalog of different design.  They also introduce a new line which is the  Hoodies and Denim pants collection.  You can use  the code BL-Connect to  enjoy a 30% off your purchase.

I was going to ask if they  can send me the  denim and hoodie but they are not available.  I highly recommend  Warrior Poet Clothier  clothing for boys.  They are comfortable and they have lots of designs to choose from that you boys would surely love.  Thank you so much again Warrior Poet Clothier for  this opportunity.

Grades are In and I am a Proud Momma!

My Burritos  took home their report cards last weekend and I couldn't be more proud of what they showed me.  Even though my daughter has  extra  activities going on in school due to the gifted program that she  is in, her grades are still excellent.  

I was worried  for my son going in to the first grade  at the beginning  because he is not like my daughter who would sit down and  study lessons.  He likes to goof around which sometimes frustrates me because I want  him to do good in school just like his sister does.  I was really impressed when he showed me his grades though.  It was funny because he said "Sorry Mom if my grades are not as high as Ate (his sister)" but when I opened it, I hugged him tight and said "You're as excellent as your sister, so don't ever feel bad about your grades".  That being said, hubby and I are  proud parents for these smarty Burritos.  

I would like to thank Bluewater Road Kids Design for sending my precious Burritos two customized tees. My daughter was excited to be writing once again at her blog as some of you might know, I don't let her blog when the school is going on but since she love the tee so much, I let her do the review for that one.

I know that some of you might have started scouting for things that you want to get for your love ones for Christmas as the season of giving is fast approaching. You might want to consider getting customized tees for your kiddos just like the ones that my Burritos are wearing. You can check out Bluewater Road Kids Design in Pinterest and on Etsy Shop. They have pretty and cute designs for girls and absolutely cool designs for boys.

 Just look at how my Pinch Proof Prince is smiling wearing his tee.   I wish that I could have got him a shirt with his name on it as well because he  likes  his sister's tee and said "I wish mine has  my name on it too".  The good thing is that, he has a shirt already that he can use on St. Patrick's Day.  I love the material that  they use for these tees , they are soft which is super comfy for the  delicate skin of children.

Thank you so much once again to the  owner of Bluewater Road Kids Design, Ms. Caroline for  giving us an opportunity to showcase  their products.   To you Mom and Dads out there, these tees are  great  gifts for any special occasion especially this Christmas.  So check them out!

5 Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss is a painful part of every man’s and even some women’s lives. It happens to a lot of us eventually and while there are some things we can do about it, there are also some situations where you’re pretty much just stuck. Here are five causes of hair loss and what you can do about them, if anything. If nothing else you can at least be warned its coming.

Male Pattern Baldness

There is simply very little you can do about this. It’s a part of your genetic code. As little as most men like it it’s something you have to face up to. Feel free to contact biothikaustralia.com.au or similar to find some temporary solutions to hair thinning eventually you will have to accept it. That being said, there’s no reason not to hold onto your hair as long as possible.

Stress

Dealing with too much at once can quite quickly impact your hair. Being under severe physical strain like surgery can do the job, as can severe emotional stress like dealing with job shifts or severe family issues. Any measures to increase hair density can be used to delay hair loss just long enough to correct your stress issues but if it starts falling out, step one is relax.

Vitamin/Mineral Deficiency

If you’re not getting things you need the hair is one of the things that will suffer quickly. If you don’t have enough of certain things in your body your hair becomes brittle, fragile and breakable and this is a serious problem. Buy some multivitamin supplements or see a doctor and figure out exactly what you need more of. If you don’t like pills it might be time to think about changing your diet a little. This is one cause of hair loss you can do something about.

Medications

Many kinds of pill can cause damage to hair follicles. Technically this is called telogen effluvium, a rapid shedding of the hair when hairs shift from a growth phase to a resting phase and then fall out when new hairs grow. This can’t be helped, after all you need to take your pills, but if they’re only temporary you can use hair loss solutions as a stopgap until the course is past.

Playing With it

A lot of people habitually run their hands through their hair, or simply pull on it when stressed or bothered. This is a good nervous habit but when the hair is being messed with or damaged it can end in falling out. Keep your hands out of your hair for a while and it should be as simple as that for most people. It can be a hard habit to break, but baldness if harder.

Modern medicine has cures for almost everything, but even what it doesn’t there are things you can do with a healthy lifestyle and a little care. Worst case scenario, you get a couple of years of extra hair, best case, you get to keep it.

Shirts That Go

I was given an opportunity to receive two  items from Shirts That Go for review.  Mr. Burrito  love them!  My son has an obsession over trains, planes, cars and any machinery.  He was  excited when he saw the designs of his new shirts.

He look goofy on the photos  (that's what he does when I take pictures of him lol) but he  truly liked his new shirts.  He even wish he can wear it to school to show his  friends but unfortunately, they wear uniform so it is not possible.  Maybe on the day when they have  free dress (end of the month), I would let him wear it.

If you have a little boy like mine, you may want to consider  getting him some customized shirts like these if  they are into  engines and vehicles.  Shirts That Go has different   designs including the seasonal one which is the Ski Lift T-Shirt.  They currently have 30 designs to choose from.

My son like it because the shirt not only have  cool designs that he likes but it is also very soft as it is made from a cotton cloth material.  The categories that you can choose from when  selecting designs includes trucks and buses, military and coastguards, construction, trains, classics, fire and rescue, and tractors.  They offer discounts too if you a order  more than one shirt and oh, all orders comes with FREE shipping, so  check them out .

Thank you Shirts That Go for the opportunity to work with you.  My son wishes he could have each of the designs when I showed him your website.  I think I made a  mistake in showing him  that   lol.  Before I end this review, let me share this Calorie Pilot App that you can try if you are into monitoring or tracking your calorie intake.

The Benefits of Getting an MBA

By pursuing an MBA degree, a successful candidate can truly attain several benefits not just for his or her personal development but for their professional career too. For one, they can get additional knowledge concerning business as well as a wide variety of relevant aspects. Business schools and MBA programs usually teach business strategies and concepts, in reality and in theory.   Additionally, since an MBA course usually includes internship and training in certain firms, a student will definitely learn to utilize his or her skills in the course of everyday business operations and in reality. 

A coop MBA program, like Laurier University’s Coop MBA program, enhances the leadership skills of a student due to the rigorous training involved. In addition to the training, the reports, assignments, group projects and presentations given will enable students utilize their skills in dealing with business situations in a similar manner to what happens in real life. By developing this ability, the leadership and expertise in a student's chosen field is promoted. 

A vital benefit gained from a coop MBA program involves the network of business relations formed by a student with his or her classmates. The associations formed in the course of studying an MBA course are perceived as valuable resources that can continue even after the student graduates from the program.  Such extensive MBA networks can be consulted by graduates in case they need advice and can assist them in their relocation issues as well as search for employment. 

Once a student has earned an MBA degree, particularly from a prestigious business school, he or she will definitely get several employment offers from top companies. It is said that investment banks and consulting firms offer the best-paying employment opportunities to those who have just graduated with coop MBA degrees. Despite the MBA market experiencing a slowdown in 2003, consulting companies and investment banking firms are on the lookout for MBAs on campus again, particularly during recruiting seasons. 

Not to be forgotten of course, is the huge wages that an individual can get from holding an MBA degree. According to several surveys, MBA starting salaries have been on the rise in recent years, including signing bonuses; with the trend being global. For instance, one survey showed that in 2005 there was a 10% increase in the average salary and bonus for newly graduated MBA holders at $114,000. This rate of salary broke the record back in 2001. 

In case someone's career path does not fit perfectly to his or her interests and aptitudes, one of the benefits of pursuing an MBA program is that it enables them to explore their options flexibly. It also provides one with the required training for those wishing to change their careers. Another advantage is that one can use his or her education to start they own business venture.  If someone is interested in starting a business but does not possess the required expertise to launch it, an MBA can be of immense help. It can prepare someone to do everything including acquiring venture capital, writing a business plan or even launching an IPO.

Bluewater Road Kids Tees

Hello my  finest friends in blogging world.  It has been a while since  my  MoM let me  write in this blog.  I have been  busy  since the school started especially now that  I am into the  gifted program.  Mom thought that it would affect my grades but for me it is just the  same, I can not tell any difference except the extra cool and fun  things that we do when we go to my  special class.   My teacher in the  gifted program pulls me and one of my classmates every Thursday to have our  class  for   one hour.  I love it because we get to do  things that we do not normally do in our classroom.  Right now, we are studying about Canada and  did a project where we have to create an animal  that is made  up of different things.  It is pretty cool.  I am also  excited  because we are having a field trip  on the 7th of November and that would be my very first time to go. I think my Mom would blog about that so I will just leave  the details to her.

Anyway, I was  literally jumping up and down when my Mom said that she has something especial for me and that  she would let me write about it.  I am very happy to see a  tee with my name on it, I love it!

The owner of Bluewater Road Designs was very  generous to  provide me and my brother   personalized shirts to review.  I will be reviewing  my tee only though.  I have a beautiful  personalized birthday glitter t-shirt.  This t-shirt is great because it is soft,comfortable, and stylish.  It is not a very complicated shirt, but it is not just a plain shirt either, it is perfect.  I love the glitter and it is my favorite color too.  I am going to wear this to school and my friends will be jealous!

I don't know how to  do the linky thing so my Mommy did it for me.  It is the links where you can check out  Bluewater Road Kids in  Pinterest and  on  Etsy Shop where you can make your orders.

If you have kids like me who likes cool stuff such as the tee that I am wearing, I think that you should consider ordering them a personalized shirt with their name on it.  I know this because my brother said to me that he wishes he has a shirt with his name  on it as well.

I apologize for the  the messy hair, I just could not wait to try the tee when I saw it.  My Mom wanted to comb my hair before she takes my pictures but I told her that it is fine.  I do not look bad right?  I would like to  extend my gratitude to Bluewater Road Kids Design for sending me this beautiful tee that I am wearing.

Disclaimer:  I did not receive monetary compensation in writing this review, I do however, received the tee I described above for free.
